The Office of the Vice President remains committed to continuing its programs and services, including the Wheelchair Assistance Program.
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) continues to extend its support to Filipinos in need of mobility assistance through its Wheelchair Assistance Program, benefiting senior citizens and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), including those residing in Cebu Province.
Among the beneficiaries is Tatay Catalino Achua of Barangay San Jose, Cebu City.
According to his wife, Susan Achua, Tatay Catalino has been struggling to walk due to his medical condition and elevated blood sugar levels. Before receiving the wheelchair, Susan said caring for her husband was physically challenging, especially whenever he needed to leave their home.
“Ningtaas ang iyang sugar, naay time nasamad siya ug ningdako mao nga naputlan sya’g tiil ug kinahanglang gyud niya ang wheelchair, ( At first, his blood sugar level increased, and he developed a wound that became swollen. Because of this, his leg had to be amputated, which made a wheelchair truly necessary for him) ,” said Susan Achua.
When Susan sought assistance from the OVP–Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor Satellite Office, the office immediately responded and provided a wheelchair to help address Tatay Catalino’s daily mobility needs, which, according to Nanay Susan, eased the burden of caring for her husband and allowed him to move around more comfortably.
Another recipient of the program is 57-year-old Imelda Rubin of Barangay Biasong, Talisay City. According to her, going outside their home has become easier now that she has a wheelchair.
Both Susan Achua and Imelda Rubin expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the OVP for its prompt response and assistance.
Despite the challenges faced by many Filipinos, the OVP remains steadfast and committed to continuing its programs and services, prioritizing those who are most in need.

Isa si Tatay Catalino ng Barangay San Jose, Cebu City sa mga benepisyaryo ng Wheelchair Assistance Program ng Tanggapan ng Pangalawang Pangulo. Ayon sa kanyang asawa na si Susan Achua, hirap nang makalakad ang tatay dahil sa iniinda nitong karamdaman at mataas na blood sugar level.
Dahil wala silang wheelchair noon, aminado si Susan na malaking hamon para sa kanya ang pagbubuhat sa kanyang asawa, lalo na tuwing kailangan nitong lumabas ng kanilang tahanan.
Nang idulog ni Susan ang kalagayan ng kanyang asawa sa OVP–Cebu, Bohol, at Siquijor Satellite Office, agad itong tinugunan ng tanggapan at pinagkalooban ng wheelchair si Tatay Catalino. Ayon kay Nanay Susan, hindi lamang nagpadali sa pag-aalaga sa kanyang asawa kundi nagbigay rin ito ng pagkakataon para makagalaw nang mas komportable ang kanyang mister.
“Ningtaas ang iyang sugar, naay time nasamad siya ug ningdako mao nga naputlan sya’g tiil ug kinahanglang gyud niya ang wheelchair, (Noong una, tumaas ang kanyang blood sugar, nasugatan siya at namaga ito, kaya kinailangang putulin ang kanyang paa, dahilan kung bakit talagang kailangan niya ng wheelchair), saad ni Susan Achua.
Bukod kay Tatay Catalino, pinagkalooban din ng bagong wheelchair si Nanay Imelda Rubin, 57 taong gulang at residente ng Barangay Biasong, Talisay City.
Ayon kay Nanay Imelda, malaking ginhawa ang hatid ng natanggap na wheelchair dahil mas naging madali para sa kanya ang makalabas ng bahay at magawa ang ilang pang-araw-araw na gawain.
Nagpaabot ng taos-pusong pasasalamat sina Susan Achua at Nanay Imelda sa agarang pagtugon ng tanggapan sa kanilang pangangailangan.
Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, saad ng OVP, magpapatuloy ang mga programa at serbisyo nito, na ang pangunahing layunin ay makatulong sa mga Pilipinong higit na nangangailangan.
